Ryan Seacrest thinks Mariah Carey Will Fit Right in At American Idol (VIDEO)

Ryan Seacrest sat down with Today show host, Matt Lauer, for a few minutes this morning to talk about new American Idol judge, Mariah Carey.

“I actually called her last night and I said, ‘So welcome to the family. I said, ‘What are you going to be like on the show? She said, ‘You know how I am: I’m very honest. I say what I’m thinking.’ I said, ‘Great. You’ll fit right in.'”

Yes, because the panel has been known for it’s brutal honest since Simon Cowell left for the X Factor.

On the continual swirl of rumors regarding who could take a seat at the judges panel, Ryan says, “I’ve heard rumors of Brad Paisley, I’ve heard rumors of Pink, I’ve heard rumors about all kinds of people. And the way that it works is we read about the rumors and about an hour before it’s confirmed I get a call saying, ‘Guess who’s on the show.'”
